You will also need to wear socks. Allow 60 minutes for the sessions. The first session may be an additional twenty minutes longer to allow for discussion prior to and after the treatment. The treatment is given on the floor on a padded mat called a futon, with support from a sculpted body cushion and if necessary more cushions.
